It isn't clear from the above statement whether you compiled up the HTML
parser (see instructions in our previous email to you on this topic)
before copying the compilation-product files into Greenstone. The
compilation is a necessary step and may affect the outcome of your build.

In that previous email, I didn't make it sufficiently clear that the
following strings in the steps outlined were placeholders that are meant
to be filled out by you:
- /full/path/to/COMPILED_LOCATION
- /fullpath/to/where/you/have/downloaded/the/tar.gz/file
